    That's exactly what the copper said to me on Saturday. They do their job, then the courts let em off. Frustrating for them.

    The basic problem is that there are not enough consequences ENFORCED within the law. I have had one nicked and recovered, bar stewards. All it do us is cost US.

    Except foxy was at his mates, which underscores the benefit of carrying a long chain with you to attach the bike to something that prevents the bike being easily lifted, or of having a bike tracker fitted.

    It's already arranged, as soon as the dust has died.

    wasting your time r.e court case he or they more than likely will get community service at most,as said just bide your time you have enough details be careful as you would get harsher treatment from the law than the low life ever would,best of luck hope bikes not too badly damaged at least you will get it back.

    Further update
    My insurance company, (MCE), have picked mi bike up from the salvage yard. I'm now waiting for one of their engineers to look it over. It's a waste of time me ringing em, cos all calls go to a call centre in the Phillipines!! Then they make an appointment to ring you back, between 1400 - 1600. Got a telephone interview with a "claims validation handler" on Thursday at 1000, might find summat out then, hopefully.

    It is a real sinking feeling when you get your bike nicked, you need to have it happen to you to fully understand the impact. You are one of the lucky one to get your bike back so quickly; I hope it is not badly damaged. As many have said it is sad that the punishment handed out for this type of crime is a joke......

    Update
    Mi bikes a fuckin write off. I'm absolutely gutted. Just had email of engineers report, as follows;-

    New parts required:-Headlamp fairing, Rhf Lever, Handle Mirror, Rad Cowl Outter, Rad Cowl Inner, Belly Pan, Exhaust, Rh Engine Cover, Alternator Cover, Seat Cowling, Seat, Rhf Indicator, Rear Lamp Trim, Lock Set, Top Yoke, Lower Yoke Specialist/Sundry charges:-Epa Charge Parts to check:-Final Check And Road Test, Wash And Clean

    Evidently, it's a Cat N, which allegedly, is equivalent to the old Cat D, which means uneconomical to repair. Lookin at t'list of damage, I find that hard to believe. Maybe it's just easier for t'insurance company. I dunno, fed up now....

    We should have system similar to the stocks we had in each market place... where red handed perpetrators of naughtiness could be popped in by the police... “There you go sonny Jim, a week of being cared for by the community.’

    I wish I’d done that when the misses car got a minor rear end shunt... engineers report was waaaay over the top, so we settled... but I bet the engineer offered the insurance company a couple of quid for the car and did it themselves.
